JustStickIt. We've got Your back!

While the SmartCover is a really neat and minimalistic approach to protecting the iPad 2, it leaves the back completely vulnerable to scratches and dings. I was looking for something to protect the iPad 2 from daily use. I carry mine around everywhere I go. As such, I often set it down on various surfaces and one thing I learned from my Original iPad, is they scratch fairly easy. I wanted something to protect the edge, when I have it propped up with the smart cover, something that would protect the back from scratches and not interfere with the SmartCover. I found lots of options, most of them are all similar. Usually they are laser or die cut from 3M Di-Noc Vinyl. So with that in mind, I looked for the best value and a vinyl look I wanted. That led me to JustStickIt, on Ebay.



From looking at their products, it looked like they had the best price, for the quality. I paid $14.95 for the Black Leather skin I bought. The shipping was prompt and the skin arrived in my mailbox about 4 business days later. When I opened the envelope, I found the sticker and install instructions in a protective plastic bag and the instructions are printed on card stock, to give the skin some protection against getting folded in shipping.

The instructions to install it are very simple and straight forward. I just wiped my iPad clean, with a paper towel and began to place the skin. The skin has an Apple Cutout in the middle of it, a cutout for the camera and one for the speaker. The one for the Apple Logo is slightly undersized. This allows you just a little bit of leeway in your placement. Just in case you are a 16th of an inch off or whatever. But install was very simple. Make sure your Camera lines up in it's hole and make sure the Apple logo is lined up. Then press it down and hit it lightly with a hair dryer to activate the glue.

I have worked with the Di-Noc vinyls before and from my experience, they are very durable and yet remove with little, to no left behind residue. I would have to say that JustStickIt is worth every penny and more! It does not cover the entire back, the edges are not covered. However, it goes low enough that when propped up with the smart cover, you will be sitting on the skin and not the bare metal. I would highly recommend these to anyone. The Black Leather on mine, gives the iPad a unique "Book" feel. I like it!

They have several different products, skins for iPhone, iPods, AppleTV, and iPad.
Some of the options they have are,

Black Leather, Like I got,

 

Metallic Wood , Which looks like it would be really nice.

 White Carbon Fiber,

And Black Carbon Fiber.

Like I said, I really like my Black Leather skin, the purchase was smooth and easy. Shipping was quick and the install was super simple. This stuff is great to work with! Definitely check out their Ebay store! You will not be disappointed!
